Ever read "Welcome to the N.H.K."?
I'm no NEET myself, but I always imagined that's how they do it.

I saw the show and read a very short amount of the manga.

Isn't the protagonist just funded by his parents?

>>575
SPOILERS:
In the end he gets a job.
I'm just gonna quote what is written.
"Given all my credit card debt, I worked night and day for the first month. After registering with a temporary agency, I was able to get daily work. Once I accumulated a degree of wiggle room in my savings, I immediately reduced the amount of work I was doing. I decided to work for about half a month at a time, then staying holed up for the second half. As long as I could make about one hundred thousand yen a month, I could actually maintain a rather pleasant life.
Whenever possible, I tried to work nights. Nighttime traffic control was the best job. To be a security guard, you needed to get registered by taking a four-day legal training course; once you finished that, however, no other work was easier."

I work part time at my local wal-mart unloading trucks 16-32 hrs a week $900-$1200 a month. its very hard work but a secure job cuz noone elce wants to do it "cuz it's too hard ;_;" I have extra $ because I live at my parents. I pay my own bills and still manage 50-150 a month to blow on my hobbies. WELL. At least i did. Christmas has left me prity well tapped for the next few months. I can't wait for my tax returns. I'm gonna buy soooo much crap XD

That's so awesome, man. Next time you feel like shit about working, just know you're living my dream out. How'd you get the job? I applied for night shift stocking at a local Wal-Mart AND Meijer and never got any calls ;_;

>>585
I think they like it more if you apply willing to work any hours they need you too and doing anything they need. its still just a job I freaken hate that place. sarcasm> what I love most is that the people that try to tell me how to do my job have no idea how to do it.

Get a job. A real one. Not some temp crap, night crap, shelf stacking crap or other enough-to-scrape-by cop-out job. Tidy yourself up and get a real job, it's easy to do and you'll have all the money in the world.

Get a job where you can go somewhere, even if you don't want to go somewhere. A job stacking shelves at night, the best you can be is the guy that supervises the chumps stacking shelves at night. A shitty office job, even in a fuck of an industry like real estate or tech support, will teach you skills for free if you pay attention and then when you use those skills there will be people that notice you have learned the skills and they will want you to use those skills for them and pay you more money for it. An entry-level job at a big company might seem a drag but these jobs are full of lazy idiots so with a little motivation it's REALLY easy to shine and start moving through the ranks. The only hard part is taking that first step.

That's the game, you level up as you go, the trick is to start playing a game with more than two levels. You get the money for hella figures, things like banks start taking you seriously and then you're buying shit like an apartment to keep all your figures in and so on.

Just keep your eyes on the prize and remember that even though you're stuck at work, all your stuff is still there waiting for you to get home. ;)

You gotta do what you gotta do.

This. Undoubtedly. I bagged groceries and pushed carts for years at local supermarkets, even worked at an iparty. Then I landed a job at CVS corporate HQ, and holy fuck does it make a difference. I bought a car, a wii with a ton of games, and still have plenty of play money left for shit like figs and other anime paraphernalia. Plus I just got a debit card so i can buy shit online now. I never imagined office people got paid so much to do so little. Definitely go for it.

Whats the doll character in the picture?

>>624

If you're talking about the OP, that would be Marisa from Touhou. Don't know about the office pic.

One in the office photo is a trap - http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10107926

>>627
A delicious trap.

>>657

Delicious yes.

Horribad fig tho. :/

>>572 is she a lamp?

I just whore myself out on cam.

from what anime is this figure in the OP?

>>680
Not an anime, I'm pretty sure it's from Touhou.

>>722
You sir, are welcome

I'm glad that I can add to the cliché... Back in school I was tutoring, later it was student loans and currently I am so fucked up I can't leave my house, can't hold a job, can't maintain a circle of friends so it's family and social security, which granted me basic monthly payments.

that's rarely enough for figurines though.

>>759

>can't hold a job
>can't leave the house

There's absolutely NOTHING you can manage? No late-night work alone shit?

Having social anxiety is one thing but letting it prevent you from leaving even your house is fucking rediculous. I was in your position a few years ago but I just took the mindset of "deal with it". I knew I had depression and possibly mental problems but I didn't tell anyone. I like to think I've turned out fine.

Nowadays I'll just start getting angry in public places as opposed to getting anxious and nervous. It isn't the best trade off but it keeps me motivated to do shit - mind you I don't rage at random people; it's more of a dull misanthropy.

Just get out there and do it, faggot. Very quickly does your mind create dilusions and irrational fears when you isolate yourself in a house.

I appreciate your thought and effort, but unfortunately, it's not like I haven't tried that already. In total, I've been in more therapies than I can think of, took medication, was in the looney bin more than once, tried to go to college, tried to get some "working from home" jobs, and every time it ended in manic panic attacks and months of even worse depression. Yes, even when I tried to work from home the contact with other people through those channels made me go nuts, I don't even know why.

Something is just fucked up in my head, dunno if it's genetic, some trauma I don't even know about, or whatever. Whenever I have any kind of Identity, when I feel like having a trace of accountability for whatever I'm doing, and that includes stuff like fucking breathing too loud in public, I snap. Completely. I tried just not caring, but somehow it is burrowed so deep in my psyche, I couldn't overcome it.

I know that's about the lamest disorder one can think of, as it seems in a way like some perfect "yay, no responsibility"-disorder. You can be sure I hated myself for that in the past.

Perhaps I might try yet again, but after the years pass and every time you try you end up worse than before, you begin to get tired...

At least Anonymity and to some degree hard-to-trace pseudonymity keeps that bit of sanity and reason I have left within me active and allows for discussions. As I said, I might try again, and I appreciate your sentiment, but especially these days, I have just given up.
